Tag: selenium. linux

I was using Selenium to automate some tasks beyond testing and needed to set it up to run with a cron job. A shell script calls the appropriate Maven command, but I kept getting the error:Error: no display specified

The fix was to add this to the script before calling Maven:export DISPLAY=:0

Evidently when Selenium is started from cron, it doesn’t know what display to use. This code tells it to use display 0 and it runs normally.
